    2 triple rads+double rad.. 1 pump.. could be difficult pressure-drop-wise.. even if they are onepass low-flow ones.. and the best thing would be pump-cpu then the rest.. still, very nice radiator "power".. but i'm no expert

    everything is more than posssible! browse around the net and you'll see people using huge pumps, no rads and a reservoir of 1000+ gallons (search for a guy who made his setup in his basement, with custom made by him blocks, custom pipes >1/2" and totally fanless). u could use 2 nice pumps in the "middle's" of the loops.. i think this would be better than one big pump... keep the flow constant and stuff.. also, i've seen a weird thing looong ago for just one pump.. if u have one-pass radiators, u could run them in parallel for an even lower flow rate.. this is different than running a double-pass as an even lower pressure drop occurs.. the experts in cooling may give their oppinios, as i only got faster to this thread and am by no means trully qualified to give advice (i'm an air cooling freak)

    You should look into dual pumps. Or have 2 kits, one for your cpu and one for the gpu and other things. You will probably have problems with that much stuff and only one pump.

    Again not a watercooling expert, just happened to be around.

    I don't think you need the first triple rad in that setup you got there.
